Hello everyone...I have been MIA all weekend taking care of Grandkiddos...our new little DGS was admitted to the hospital on his 1 week birthday so we have been taking care of his brothers. Jacob was discharged today much better but his poor parents, grandparents , and great grandparents are a wreck!!! It's sooo heartbreaking to see a tiny baby sick and suffering but all is better now so we can all get back to normal.

I made these cards last week but didn't have time to upload them. This wonderful winter scene is an Inkadinkado stamp from Stamper's Dream. It was stamped with Chocolate Chip and highlighted with Handsome Hunter onto Kraft cs and the frame was created with Nesties dies with Handsome Hunter cs. The background paper is Basic Grey's Wassail and the distressing, Prima Poinsettias, and punched ferns finish it off.

I am going to the Austin Area Christmas Swap on Dec. 5th and I have been trying to come up with a swap card. This one was my second card...I'm not going to use this one because I didn't have enough of the dp so it will go into my Christmas card box ...a great flat card for mailing. I will bring home around 40 cards from the swap so I won't have to make too many more...Whoohoo!!!

The tree image from the Snow Swirled set was stamped with Handsome Hunter and a few gold balls were added to the snowflakes. Pretty simple but easy to mass produce.

I'm so glad little Jacob is doing much better. Joan, your Christmas cards are beautiful.. Love the winter scene on the first one and the embossing, dp and the little gold pearls on the second one is so pretty.. Hope you have a blast at the Austin Swap.. Wish I could have made it, maybe the next one.. Take care and have a wonderful Thanksgiving... XXX

Beautiful cards, Mom! LOVE the framed scene - so gorgeous and vintage-y! Love the second card, too bad it won't be for the swap. That paper is so pretty! Can't wait to see what the final swap card will look like! :-)

Oh what good news that the baby is doing well now. Hugs to you and your family. I love how you used the two different inks on the scene in that first card. Just that little hint of color with the brown is very striking. Happy Thanksgiving!
